Log:

It had been a stroke of luck when he had found that movie theater.

After chatting it up with a few people around town, Barney had been pointed in the direction of the old movie theater. It was a tiny affair, one screen and it looked a bit old timey, but then, so was the town. Either way, it would work and the owner was enthusiastic about, and gave Barney a discount on renting the place. Hopefully, it would bring him some business as well.

And now the smell of freshly popped popcorn pervades the lobby, the lights are dim, and the anticipation that comes with the start of the movie is starting to build.

Lights, camera, action!

[OOC: This log has two main threads, kids and adults. Each film subthread will have the title and a small summery and after that, go nuts and make up whatever you want. Going with 4 movies per age category, but more can be added by request.]

Not that type! Movies made for an older audience.

[usedsuitup]

While the snack bar is still open, Barney is now serving alcohol to those who want it.

[failures]

[A few movies have aired by the time Larry shows back up for a drink refill.]

Man, this was such a good idea. You've outdone yourself, Barney.

[He holds up a hand.] High five!

[usedsuitup]

[High Five returned with gusto!]

Thanks Bro. I think it's been pretty good so far.

How are the movies?

[failures]

[He grins.] So terrible they're great. You really picked some good ones.

[usedsuitup]

Cream of the crop, bro. Cream of the crop.

I have a few more in reserve, but after that it starts dipping into the actually bad movies category.

[failures]

What's the worst one you got?

[usedsuitup]

Oh geez.

There was a pokemon version of The Room that managed to be worse than the original.

This one about a killer scyther that was really fake.

[And we'll be giving this some serious thought.]

[failures]

The Room? I don't think I've seen that one. What's it about?

[Larry no, don't ask. You don't know what you're getting into...]

[usedsuitup]

It's advertised as a dark comedy about a relationship that falls apart.

That's not what it is. What it truly is...is really hard to describe.

Just. It's bad. Really bad.

The Rock Type Horror Picture Show

[usedsuitup]

[A newly engaged couple have a breakdown in an isolated area and must pay a call to the bizarre residence of Dr. Frank-N-Furter.

Let's do the Time Roar again!]

I regret nothing. Nothing in the least.

[melodicnocturne]

'It's astounding, time is fleeting
Confusion takes its damage toll
But listen closely, not for very much longer
I've got to keep control

I remember doing the Time Roar
Drinking those moments when
The Darkness would hit me and the Night Void would be calling
Let's do the Time Roar again...
Let's do the Time Roar again!'

The puns were killing him, but a very specific dirty-blond couldn't take his eyes off the screen to save his life. Demyx had heard there was a musical being shown, and that it was infamously bad. But never in his newfound life could he have expected how this film could be the quintessence of b-movie cheesy and godawful. And yet, utterly delicious in every way. He sat, enraptured by the horrible effects, the cheesy dialog, the utterly painful lyrics; the wry, gleeful grin never once leaving his expression. On either side of him sat, of course, his trusted friends and companions. A near-duplicate of him with deep black and maroon hair- the disguised form of a Zoroark, a bemused-looking Gallade that shared his owner's expression, and a curious Reuniclus. Each of them looked to be silently exchanging psychic dialog, the two psychic types able to use telepathy to communicate with each other, and occasionally laughing at the antics of the movie.

"Oh man..." Demyx eventually managed, unable to contain his odd mix of sheer shock, joy, and amusement. "I knew it was gunna be bad, you guys, but this is so horrible it's amazing."

This is what I encourage.

[usedsuitup]

"Told you," Barney grinned. Since the movie was on, he'd temporarily abandoned his place at the snackbar to catch some of the movie. He couldn't remember the last time he'd seen Rocky Horror. Did they go on Halloween once? He vaguely recalled Marshall and Lily dressing up.

"I'm glad the pokemon version is just as good as the original," he sighed as he wiped away a tear.

Delightful!

[melodicnocturne]

"Barney, hey! You're lookin' lively." Demyx turned to catch the male's voice, his own grin already completely aparent. It seemed strange to consider, but all of this was a new experience to him. It was just one more reason to like being in Johto, he supposed, but the movie musical continued on in ludicrous splendor as the dance number went on.

"You seemed busy out in the lobby, glad you got a break. Oh, yeah! Good to meet you in person," to this he held his hand out to the other and offered a friendly shake.

[usedsuitup]

"Well, there's not much else to do when people are watching the movie," Barney replied, shaking the outstretched hand with gusto. After all, even though he was running this thing, he wasn't going to deny himself some bad movies.

"Glad to see you made it though."

[melodicnocturne]

"It wasn't hard, thanks for hooking me up. I just gotta figure out how to get back once this is all over. Heh-heh." Demyx grinned sheepishly at the thought, he had glanced over the map he owned a little earlier and saw he needed to either pass through a cave or press on through the next route. Neither option really thrilled him.

"Hey, you know if any trainers have gotten their badges out of order? While I'm in town I might take a crack at the gym leader..."

[usedsuitup]

"Shouldn't be that difficult. We made it through alright. Granted, we mostly travel Steelix-back."

Barney, admittedly, had suppressed a lot of the memories he had of travelling. Camping was not his thing in the slightest.

"I think Larry did. You could probably ask him. I don't really do the whole badge thing."

Or the whole trainer thing really.
